On her and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry's attempts to get pregnant:
“I’m sort of superstitious, so I saved all of the negative tests in a drawer. Don’t ask! I don’t know why, but I did. After about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test.”
On not knowing the baby's gender"
"There's so few genuine surprises in life anymore that, why not have a huge surprise? And I like fantasizing one day it's a girl, one day it's a boy."
On playing a mother in new movie, Things We Lost in the Fire:
"I think it validated that I was meant to be a mother because every day I dealt with the character as a mother and thinking as a mother. It let me know that I must be a mother."
On her decision to not get married again:
"I feel more married, in a way, than I ever have in two marriages before. [Aubry] really understands the spiritual connection is so much more important than the paper and the pomp and circumstance and the ceremony."
On plans for another baby:
"There's just one right now. But we're hoping, right after this one, to do it again."
